TALENTED songbird Céline Dion ruffled some feathers during a recent appearance on The Voice with some icy ego-tripping! The My Heart Will Go On singer turned into a megadiva during her turn on the NBC show as a guest mentor. “Céline acted like she was a superstar the moment she walked on set to tape her episodes,” says an on-set snitch. “She was extremely entitled and was just not friendly or welcoming to the production crew at all!” Accompanied by a huge entourage of people at the set of the show, Céline “got the royal treatment,” the source claims. “She had to do several retakes and complained about everything from her hair and makeup, to the outfit that was chosen for her.”…

A TERRIFIED Melanie Griffith sought out ex-husband Antonio Banderas after his recent heart attack shocker — and now a pal reports the pair is planning a secret reconciliation! “Antonio’s brush with death freaked Melanie out,” says a source close to the 59-year-old Working Girl actress. “She was beside herself with fear and concern!” The Melanie mole says the rekindled romance was triggered by Antonio’s Jan. 26 heart attack horror, which struck the Zorro star while he was exercising at home in England. Although Antonio, 56, downplays the attack, saying it “wasn’t serious and hasn’t caused any damage,” he jetted to a Swiss clinic and had three stents put in his arteries. A medical authority tells GLOBE, “Any heart attack is serious, but especially one where you have to have three…

Thomas Howell, Tom Cruise and Rob Lowe filmed the cult movie based on S.E. Hinton’s bestselling novel. O’Connor says he’s always been obsessed with the story about rough-and-tumble teens facing off against rich kids from the other side of town. “When the movie debuted in 1983, I walked in the theater one guy and came out another guy,” O’Connor confesses. “The movie resonated with me like no other and has been on my mind ever since,” says the rapper, who began…

Alzheimer’s prediction breakthrough! + A REVOLUTIONARY new test can now predict the age you’ll develop Alzheimer’s disease!

CARRIE Fisher’s beloved pup Gary — who stayed by the Star Wars legend’s side until the very end — has found a new home! The frisky French bulldog was briefly an orphan after Carrie’s unexpected death at 60 from a shocking heart attack last December. Then Gary was given to Carrie’s daughter — Scream Queens actress Billie Lourd — since he got along so famously with Billie’s dog, Tina. But that pairing didn’t work out, as Billie and her uncle, Todd Fisher, decided Gary had a greater connection with Corby McCoin, Carrie’s longtime personal assistant. Todd says nobody should worry about Gary or late mom Debbie Reynolds’ dog, Dwight. “None of these pets will ever go without what’s best for them,” says Todd. “They all have trust funds. Let’s put…

TROUBLED actress Jodie Sweetin’s shocking blowout with her suicidal ex-felon fiancé could catapult her back onto the drug and alcohol addictions she’s battled so hard to beat, alarmed pals worry. “The fear is she’ll slip up and fall off the wagon,” says a source. “The first thing she’s going to think about is having that drink or popping a few pills to ease her troubles.” The 35-year-old Full House child star, now making a comeback on Netflix’s spin-off Fuller House, dialed a desperate 911 call that led to the weapons bust of her ex-fiancé Justin Hodak on March 24.

THE upcoming FOX revival of Love Connection will feature same-sex couples for the first time — but media experts question whether this gay twist will be too much for viewers to handle! Like the original romance romp — a game-show hit in the 1980s and early 1990s that revitalized host Chuck Woolery’s flagging career — this modern update will feature singles sent on three blind dates, who will then tell all in front of a live audience. But questions remain about whether viewers will relate to the show, which is hosted by Real Housewives mastermind Andy Cohen. “What’s next, a gay Dating Game?” scoffs one media mole. “Networks love to rehash old ideas. The gay angle will grab headlines, but I don’t know if it will grab viewers. Remember, nobody…

TERRIFIED Amber VanHecke thought she was a goner after she ran out of gas in a remote part of the Grand Canyon — so she recorded a deathbed diary to her loved ones. “I wanna leave messages for you guys, but every time I think about it, I just start crying,” the desperate 24-yearold says in one entry. In another, she says, “This is awful. I hate it!” The University of North Texas coed got stranded when her vehicle ran out of gas driving from the canyon to Arizona’s Havasu Falls. She tried to call for help, but the phone signal was dead. Using duct tape, she wrote a huge “HELP” on an old, abandoned oil tank and “OUT OF GAS” and “LOST” on her car. At one point, a…

GLADIATOR star Russell Crowe has packed on so much weight, he looks like he couldn’t fight his way off of a couch — and doctors warn the movie chunk is facing a deadly health crisis. Recent photos show the 53-year-old actor, who’s shaved his head, looking bloated and flabby. “He looks like he’s 270 pounds,” estimates an eyewitness. A source says Russell has a history of gaining and losing weight for movies, “but he just can’t seem to get rid of the extra pounds this time.” And doctors warn his inand- out waistline puts him at higher risk for deadly diseases and wrecking his metabolism. “Yo-yo dieting increases the risk for heart disease, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure and many other illnesses,” New York internist Dr. Stuart Fischer tells GLOBE.…

OLYMPIC great and former Dancing with the Stars champion Kristi Yamaguchi, 45, made a world-class flub, while cheering on current DWTS competitor Nancy Kerrigan. “Can’t wait to see you grace that ballroom floor. Break a leg!” tweeted Kristi innocently. But it brought to mind the 1994 kneeclubbing attack on Nancy plotted by rival skater Tonya Harding to keep Nancy out of the Olympics in Norway. But Nancy, 47, who eventually glided to a silver medal, gracefully responded, “Thank you so much, Kristi!”…

CAITLYN JENNER is learning her sex swap comes with an astoundingly expensive hidden cost! The 67-year-old ex-man recently confifided to pals that she’s plunking down a staggering $26,000 a year for waxing. The jaw-dropping expense should be no surprise. Waxing someone who used to be a hairy-chested Olympic decathlon champ named BRUCE requires a lot of time and melted candles. And it’s no once-a-month thing! “She has a specialist come to her home in Malibu every week to get rid of any masculine hairs on both her body and her genitals,” dishes an insider. “Her waxing tech charges $500 for home visits.” The cost, frequency and agony have Caitlyn “considering permanent laser hair removal” like stepdaughter KIM KARDASHIAN. “With Kim, it was understandable — she had all that dark hair,”…

CHARISMATIC Kiefer Sutherland burst onto the acting scene in ‘80s classics Stand by Me and The Lost Boys.

A TOY shoplifter dubbed the Lego Bandit is heading to the ultimate brickhouse! Shifty Florida native Ignatius Pollara was living the sweet life, scamming about $1 million operating as a quickhanded crook while his own mother acted as a lookout. When Florida lawmen busted him for a 2012 burglary spree boosting more than $2 million in Lego sets and toys from the Toys “R” Us chain, his activities were put on hold. But back on the street in 2015, the toy thief, 51, lied to his parole offificer, concocting a tale about needing to visit relatives in the Midwest. The offificer doubted Pollara’s story and alerted police in Illinois, who tailed sticky-fifingered Pollara from the moment he stepped off the plane. Just to be safe, they even rigged his rental…

THE UGLY divorce between comedian Jay Mohr and his bombshell wife, Nikki Cox, has taken a dark turn — with new court papers raising fears the actress may be suicidal!

According to Mohr’s filings, Cox “threatened to take her own life on at least two occasions” — which has insiders on edge! “Nikki’s behavior has been freaking Jay out to the point where he knew he had to move out with their…

AMERICANS are too busy to get busy — and are having less sex today than they did 25 years ago, according to new research! A recent study published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior reviewed sex data tracked from 1989 to 2014. Researchers found adults were having sex 60 to 62 times a year in the 1990s, but by 2014 that number dipped to less than 53 times a year. Shockingly, the biggest drop was among married people, who went from 73 times a year in 1990 to only 55 times a year in 2014 — meaning they’re having less sex than singletons. Experts say our jampacked schedules may be to blame. ‘‘I would say the No. 1 cause for a lack of sex is fatigue,’’ says Pepper Schwartz,…

HITMAKER Burt Bacharach, 88 — known for penning What’s New Pussycat? — is being sued for unspecified damages by a dog sitter who claims the composer’s pup bit off his finger!

Gayner required surgery to reattach one digit and a skin graft to replace missing chunks of flesh on the other, and says he now suffers from numbness.…

A PAIR of merry pranksters rocked the mainstream media by conning TV morning shows into booking them as strongmen. Fakers Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher issued a press release touting the availability of “inspirational strongmen” Chop and Steele. The hype-happy article cited a tour and an America’s Got Talent appearance that never happened! But naive newsmen and booking agents across the country clamored to have Chop and Steele appear on their shows — thinking a legit muscle-bound act would show up in the studio! But when Joe, appearing as Chop, and Nick, who played Steele, stopped by for morning shows on WFMZ in Pennsylvania, WEAU in Wisconsin and KXMD in North Dakota, the anchors and viewers were in for stunning displays of silliness. The average-looking “strongmen” showed off their muscles…

ENEMIES, A LOVE STORY GENERAL Hospital newcomer Chloe Lanier (Nelle) had a total blast shooting the heated confrontation with Laura Wright (Carly). The fierce showdown scene — after Carly learns Nelle slept with Sonny — only looked atomic. “It was so fun!” Chloe says. The duo grabbed dinner together after the face-off — and Laura paid. “I would never think that Laura actually felt about me the way Carly felt about Nelle, but it was still nice to kind of just decompress and pig out for a little bit afterwards,” says Chloe. “It’s nice to relax after scenes like that, because they can be very soul-sucking!” TWIST AHEAD FOR Y&R STAR TWENTY-EIGHT years after joining The Young and the Restless, Peter Bergman (Jack) is thrilled to still be in the mix of…

EVERYBODY knows MICKEY MOUSE, but until the early 1950s, when this photo was snapped, few recognized the creator of the squeaky-voiced critter — WALT DISNEY. That’s when Walt began appearing as host of his hit TV show, Disney’s Wonderful World of Color, which ran from 1954 to 1968. Walt first introduced beloved Mickey to the world in his 1928 cartoon, Steamboat Willie. From there, the brilliant illustrator graduated to full-length animated films like 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, family movies like 1964’s Mary Poppins and eventually founded his world-famous Disney theme park empire.…
